Family History

 
On March 13, 1997, just as a blizzard was getting underway, I got a package in the mail from one of my father's few living relatives, Leona Ellis of Superior, WI, who is the widow of Roy Ellis, one of my late Father's brothers.  It was a set of Manuscripts prepared by one of my Paternal Great-Grandmothers,  Amelia Ellis, shown in the attached family trees as Cynthia Amelia.   Amelia's son William is my Grandfather, and my namesake.
